Steeped in the seamy underbelly of New York City, The Talk Show by Joe Wenke is a fast-paced and sarcastically funny thriller that examines how the forces of skepticism and negativity threaten our yearning for love, family and acceptance.

“The Talk Show” follows polarizing television personality Abraham Lincoln Jones (think gay-male outrageous version of Oprah), who finds himself disappointed in his medium’s inability to connet with viewers, and takes his show on the road. His “Emancipation Tour” puts him and pal Winthrop in the crosshairs of a racist, psychopathic killer -- let the dark, humorous thrills begin. -- Philadelphia Gay News

The World of Ideas Show. After the review of the week's dangerous and great ideas, host Kasaun Henry asks the world: “Should human rights trump religion and nationalism?” In other words, if the nations and citizens on planet Earth commit to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights would religious violence, national and international conflicts diminish?

High flight risk Houston Criminal Attorney Percy Lawayne Isgitt was arrested February 26, 2015 for MISAPP / FIDUCIARY / FINANCIAL OVER 200K in Harris County Texas. Percy Isgitt was already facing civil charges for stealing $275,000 from his lifelong family friends the Jordan Family. Isgitt's recent legal troubles include being sued by Amercian Express for $24,000 followed by his wife of 50 years divorcing him in January, the highly public fraud he committed against his best friends and now being arrested. Amanda Brooks and Jill Brenneman have been public about the physical, emotional, sexual and financial crimes against them by Isgitt but Brooks and Brenneman struggled to gain mainstream respect because we are sex workers. Amanda and Jill explain one of Isgitt's probably motives for stealing these funds. In the Spring of 2014, after the funds were stolen, Isgitt hired surveiilance of Jill. The surveillance team eventually beat Jill, who now suffers a terminal medical illness as complications from these beatings. Isgitt has continously attempted to find Amanda Brooks location from friends. If given the chance Isgitt will likely jump bail to Puerto Penasco, Mexico with the assistance of his Phoenix based agent and proxie, a convicted felon private investigator. Vast documentation of Percy's Isgitt's emails to Amanda, and Jill including Brooks documenting the entire case prior to his arrest on her blog "After Hours" Stunning details revealed in this Episode of XXBN

ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO AND OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEP DOING IT OCWEN LOAN SERVICING IN THE NEWS MORTGAGE SERVICING AND CRIMINAL WRONGDOING

"the daily complaint"

Every weekday we answer client complaints on The Daily Complaint to provide direction and resources for both the person complaining as well as other consumers experiencing similar issues whether it be mortgage fraud, loan servicing escrow issues, loan modification runarounds or denials, short sale refusals, deed in lieu negotiations and credit card debt collector abuses and fraud violations.

I routinely look for posts to answer in hopes that it will not only bring optimism to those homeowners and borrowers in distress but also some basic information to assist in fighting the banks that are "too big to fail" like Bank of America and Citi but yet don't appreciate the bailout that we provided in their time of need. The debt collectors like Ocwen and Nationstar are simply just piranhas but they can be beat at their own game too just like the big banks can be defeated.

We are committed to answering consumer complaints and addressing everyday credit and debt issues on The Daily Complaint and I thank you for your continued support!
